Ford Emblem now on the new Mustang
Was at the Ford dealer yesterday looking at a 2015 GT Premium. There is a big FORD logo in the middle of the windshield (behind the rear view mirror). This is where the running horse logo has traditionally been placed.
Really a bit of trivia, but there has been no ford logo on the mustang for several years. Not sure when they started that tradition - but it has ended with the 2015 Mustang.
Actually, the salesman said there was a bit of controversy about this when Ford started demo'ing the cars for the dealerships. Lots of surprised mustang fans.

S197's run (2005-2014) didn't have the badge on the body, but they did, depending on the wheels, have it on the wheel caps.
Ford couldn't not have the logo *somewhere*, ya know...
Edit: Did a little checking just to be sure... Looks like, I think, for whatever reason, the 2013-14 do not have a Ford emblem on them at all, even on the wheel caps, available. So those years only, looks like. 2012 and back all have at least the wheel caps as a possible.

The Ford emblem is on my 2014. Though whether this counts or not is up for debate.
The Ford logo is on the Flat Rock Assembly union-made sticker they put in the rear quarter window.

All V-6 - GT- GT/CS and GT500 models since 2005, had Ford on their faux gas cap..
My previous 05 GT and current 06 GT also had the Ford logo on the wheel caps !

I dont know about that being 100% correct, my `05 Redfire GT with Gray Bullitt`s came with the pony tri-bar center caps from the factory. I noticed in later years they came with the ford emblem ones. Who knows... Maybe it was just a case of whatever was in stock at the time of assembly?

My sister bought it new when the first came out in 2004..... Like a christmas day puppy it set around unwanted after about 6 weeks, and I took over the loan about 6 months later when she got tired of making the payments.
So those caps came definately from the factory

My '79 Cobra had "FORD" on the hatch back. Since these cars are being sold overseas, officially, I think Ford wants to make sure everyone knows it is a Ford. Just a thought.
